Personal life[edit]

Armin van Buuren was born in Leiden, Netherlands, on 25 December 1976,[1] but grew up in Koudekerk aan den Rijn. Van Buuren started making music when he was 14.[15] He was inspired by French electronic music composer Jean-Michel Jarre.[15][16] Van Buuren graduated from the Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden in 1995, and studied law at Leiden University.[17] He began working as a DJ in Club Nexus, playing multiple sets a week, most of which lasted six or more hours.[18] In 1999, he met Dave Lewis who introduced him as a DJ in England and the United States.[19] As his musical career began to take off he put his law degree on hold, although he returned to graduate from law school in 2003.[20]

On 18 September 2009, Van Buuren married Erika van Thiel, with whom he had been together for eight years.[21] Their daughter Fenna was born in July 2011.[22] Van Buuren announced just hours before he was due to headline the main stage at Tomorrowland (Saturday, 27 July 2013) that his wife had given birth to a son, Remy.[23]

Career[edit]

1996–99: Early career and success[edit]

In 1996, Armin released EP and Push on Timeless Records. Van Buuren had his first success with a track called "Blue Fear", which was released under the Cyber Records label in 1997. Another successful track, "Communication", was released under the same label and became popular in Ibiza, Spain in the summer of 1999.[24] After being signed to AM PM Records,[19] this track entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 18 in 2000.[25]

In the beginning of 1999, Van Buuren started his label Armind together with United Recordings. The first release, Gig – "One", was well received. The second release, "Touch Me" under the name Rising Star, was signed to Ministry of Sound in the UK, before the record was released. By the time of his third release, Gimmick – "Free" was signed to R&S Records. During this year, he remixed the first two singles of Gouryella (Gouryella and Walhalla) and, under the guise of Rising Star, produced a remix of L'Esperanza, a song by Airscape.[26][27]

2000–04: A State of Trance and 76[edit]

In 2000, Van Buuren started his own Armin van Buuren compilation series, a mix of progressive house and vocal trance styles of music. His first compilation album, A State of Trance (not to be confused with his weekly A State of Trance radio shows), sold 10,000 copies[28] and contains Van Buuren's remix of Moogwai, "Viola". Teaming up with Tiësto, two new projects were born: Major League – "Wonder Where You Are?" was released on Black Hole Recordings and Alibi – "Eternity" was released on Armind. "Eternity" received club and chart success and was signed to Paul van Dyk's imprint Vandit Records. Another major collaboration followed this. Together with Ferry Corsten, Van Buuren recorded a riff titled "Exhale[29]" for the System F album, Out of the Blue. Released as a single, this track reached Gold status.[30] Under the pseudonym Gaia he released "4 Elements" on Captivating Sounds, a sub-label of Warner Brothers.[31]

His second album, Basic Instinct featured a new track: "Perpetuous Dreamer" – "The Sound of Goodbye". This track entered the Dutch charts in June 2001 at number 26. Later in the year, the track hit No. 1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.[32] The third album, In Motion was released 6 August 2001. A fourth album, Transparence, followed in 2002.

When ID&T Radio changed genres in 2004, Van Buuren moved A State of Trance to Fresh FM and later SLAM!FM, two Dutch radio stations. It is now a weekly feature on Radio 538, the Dutch radio station,[35] DI.FM, an online radio station,[36] and on XM Satellite Radio, channel 52 in the United States and Canada.[37] A complete list of stations that broadcast A State of Trance can be found at the ASOT section of Armin's website.[38]

Discography[edit]

Armin van Buuren (Leiden, 25 de dezembro de 1976) é um DJ e produtor musical dos Países Baixos, especialista em trance. Ele foi eleito o DJ número 1 em 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 e 2012; por votação dos Top 100 DJs da DJ Magazine, um recorde de 5 vezes.[2] Está atualmente em 4º no Top da DJ Magazine, atrás respectivamente de Martin Garrix, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike e Hardwell, e a frente respectivamente de Tiësto, David Guetta e Steve Aoki. Desde 2001, van Buuren tem apresentado um programa de rádio semanal chamado A State of Trance, que diz ter cerca de 25 milhões de ouvintes por semana em 26 países,[3] o que seria um dos programas mais ouvidos em todo o mundo. Seu álbum de estúdio de 2008, Imagine, alcançou o topo da parada musical neerlandesa, um feito inédito por um artista de música eletrônica na história musical do país.[4]

Armin van Buuren começou a produzir e compor suas próprias músicas aos 14 anos e deu início a sua carreira de DJ em um club local chamado Nexus, em sua cidade natal. Terminou o colegial por volta de 1995 e iniciou faculdade de direito ainda naquele ano. Enquanto isso, Armin transformava seu simples "estúdio no quarto" em um verdadeiro estúdio profissional, onde inicialmente foram produzidos grandes sucessos de sua carreira, tais como Touch Me e Communication, faixas clássicas do trance que ainda são constantemente executadas em suas apresentações pelo planeta.

Armin é dono de uma simplicidade e carisma sem igual, quando questionado sobre qual seria sua inspiração musical, ele afirma: " Qualquer coisa boa!" e deixa o recado para os jovens djs: "Não sejam prisioneiros de seus próprios estilos". Armin define seu som como sendo algo "Liberal, eufórico, enaltecedor, melódico e energético". Embora seja um defensor inflamado e protetor da tocha do trance, seus sets típicos incorporam faixas de techno, electro, minimal e house underground, assim como o tech trance mais tradicional, e criam momentos de excitação e surpresa que nunca falham na hora de colocar a casa abaixo e corresponder às mais altas expectativas dos fãs.

A State Of Trance[editar | editar código-fonte]

Armin também possui um dos mais consagrados programas de rádio semanal, o A State Of Trance, também chamado de ASOT, é transmitido pela DI.FM. O programa, que começou em 2001 em uma pequena rádio holandesa, continuou a crescer muito em 2008, sendo reproduzido cada vez. Hoje é transmitido em mais de 40 estações de FM em todo o mundo. Cresceu a ponto de virar uma grande referência internacional e semanal do trance e mostra como a internet é uma ferramenta poderosa para a música. Em 17 de março de 2011, quando o programa completou 10 anos de transmissão atingindo a marca de 500 episódios, Armin realizou uma grande festa para celebrar este momento tão importante de sua vida e carreira, que contou com a participação de convidados especiais como: Lange, Cosmic Gate, Gareth Emery, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Above & Beyond, Paul Oakenfold e muitos outros. Em 2012, seu programa completou a marca de 550 episódios e para comemorar esta marca, Armin realizou uma turnê que percorreu 5 continentes em 4 semanas, junto a ele participarão convidados como: Lange, Cosmic Gate, Gareth Emery, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Above & Beyond, Dash Berlin, Ørjan Nilsen entre outros.

Atualmente o programa é transmitido pela rádio Dance Paradise [1]. Uma grande conquista da cena Trance no Brasil, que ainda caminha a passos lentos no estilo, enquanto países como Argentina e Chile já possuem um bom amadurecimento e popularidade da cena como um todo. No Brasil, o ASOT é transmitido pela Rádio Energia 97, de São Paulo.

O sucesso[editar | editar código-fonte]

Em 2002, Armin foi eleito o Nº 4 na lista de 100 Tops DJs da revista DJ Magazine, considerada a bíblia da música eletrônica. No ano seguinte ele saltou para o 3º lugar e assim permaneceu durante 3 anos seguidos. Em 2006, foi para o 2º lugar, perdendo apenas para o alemão Paul van Dyk, até que em 2007, Armin van Buuren conquista o 1º lugar na mais consagrada lista de Tops DJs do mundo. O título de DJ número 1 do mundo foi conquistado por Armin aos seus 30 anos de idade. Por ter realizado tanta coisa durante seus 12 anos de carreira, este não poderia ter chegado em melhor hora. Em 2008 ele ganhou o título de melhor do mundo outra vez, em 2009 continuou sendo o melhor do mundo, novamente pela DJ Mag. Em 2010 Armin manteve a liderança, sendo pelo 4ºano consecutivo eleito DJ Nº1 do mundo pela DJ Mag, anunciado em 27 de Outubro, no Ministry Of Sound, em Londres, um recorde inédito. Em 2011 perde o lugar para David Guetta. Já em 2012 Armin volta a ser eleito o melhor DJ do mundo, mas nos últimos dois anos perdeu o título para Hardwell, também Dj holandês, ficando em 3º em 2014; com Hardwell em 1º e Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike em 2º.

Inicios[editar]

Van Buuren se sintió apasionado por la música desde corta edad. Su motivación inició por el hecho de que su padre era un gran amante de la música cristiana y le transmitió esta pasión. Además de la música, Armin se interesó en la tecnología y la computación. Muy autónomo desde corta edad; a los catorce años compró su primer mezclador, recibió prestado el sintetizador de su padre y comenzó a producir música.

Durante la adolescencia, Armin iba a la escuela en su bicicleta y aprovechaba estos viajes para escuchar música a través de los auriculares. En aquella época, Armin escuchaba la música de Jean-Michel Jarre y Ben Liebrand. Fue así como envió una demostración de su propio trabajo a Ben Liebrand y como resultado, Liebrand sintió aprecio por música de Armin. Al corto tiempo, Ben y Armin empezaron a producir y mezclar juntos.

La pasión de Armin por crear mixes creció y al corto tiempo comenzó a trabajar como DJ en una discoteca de Leiden llamada Nexus. En 1995 se graduó en la escuela y se inscribió en la universidad para estudiar derecho. Al mismo tiempo, trasladó todo el equipo con el que trabajaba de su habitación a un estudio de producción. Fue en esta nuevo espacio donde van Buuren produjo éxitos como "Touch Me" y "Communication". Armin no quiso limitarse a un solo estilo musical y por lo tanto, cada una de sus producciones consecuentes tuvo un estilo un tanto diferente a las primeras; consecuentemente van Buuren ha dicho que "uno no debe de convertirse en prisionero de su propio estilo." Dicho DJ describe su estilo como eufórico, animador, melódico y energético.

Armin ha sido una persona muy ambiciosa, ya que ha estudiado y ha sido DJ al mismo tiempo. El músico ha dicho que la única forma de hacer algo es si a uno le gusta hacerlo. Ha declarado que su máxima aspiración es poder "hacer lo que te gusta y divertirse lo más posible mientras lo haces."

Recientemente Armin van Buuren ha trabajado bastante en su carrera como DJ ya que ha empezado a presentarse en vivo varias veces por semana. Armin siempre ha mostrado aprecio por sus admiradores, incluso ha dicho que son lo más importante para un artista y por lo tanto no es raro verlo firmando autógrafos para sus fans sobre discos de vinilo, volantes, camisetas, partes del cuerpo o teléfonos móviles.

Como Productor[editar]

Armin van Buuren siempre ha contado con su propio estudio de producción, por lo tanto ha trabajado independientemente en la mayoría de sus proyectos. Nunca ha utilizado a un ingeniero para editar sus sonidos ya que dice que no quiere que nadie interponga algún estilo sobre su música.

Armin ha lanzado varias pistas desde 1996 y lo ha hecho bajo una gran variedad de sellos. El primer éxito del músico fue "Blue Fear", sencillo que se lanzó bajo sello Cyber Records. Este single, cuyo género se definió como Euro trance, tuvo mucha popularidad en el Reino Unido. "Communication", su segundo éxito, también se lanzó bajo el mismo sello; está canción llegó a ser bastante popular en Ibiza en el verano de 1999. Después de que Armin firmara un contrato con AM:PM Records, "Communication" se popularizó aún más.

Armin van Buuren ya contaba con su propio sello cuando "Communication" salió al aire. El sello de Armin, llamado Armind, fue un proyecto que formó junto con United Recordings. La primera canción que se produjo bajo Armind fue "One" la cual fue bastante popular entre el público. El segundo sencillo, "Touch Me", fue comprado por el Ministry of Sound antes de que la canción fuese lanzada en un disco como sencillo. Armin liberó esta canción utilizando el pseudónimo de Rising Star.

El próximo sencillo que Armin lanzó, "Free", salió al mercado por R&S Records y al corto tiempo produjo "4 Elements" con Captivating Sounds, sub-división de Time Warner, usando el pseudónimo Gaia. En aquel entonces van Buuren y DJ Tiësto se juntaron y trabajaron juntos en dos proyectos: Major League, que resultó en la producción de "Wonder Where You Are?" y Alibi, proyecto que dio a luz al sencillo titulado "Eternity". Major League se unió a Blackhole Records (que es propiedad de DJ Tiësto) y Alibi formó parte de Armind. El siguiente proyecto de van Buuren fue la colaboración con Ferry Corsten que se tituló "Exhale" y se lanzó como una producción de System F. El lanzamiento de "Exhale" causó bastante conmoción y en menos de un mes se le otorgó un disco de oro por el número de ventas que generó.

En el 2000 Armin comenzó a producir canciones que mezclaban el progressive, el techno, el trance y el Electro House. El álbum de van Buuren titulado Basic Instinct vendió más de 10.000 copias e incluía el remix de la canción "Voila", originalmente producida por Moogwai. En el 2001, van Buuren produjo la obra maestra "The Sound of Goodbye" usando el pseudónimo Perpetuous Dreamer, pista que llegó a alcanzar la primera posición en varios listados musicales. Armin lanzó un nuevo álbum titulado "In Motion" el 6 de agosto de 2001. Dicho álbum contó con un estilo de trance más "puro" y además fue elogiado en los Estados Unidos. En años más recientes, Armin produjo varios remixes de pistas como "Walhalla" de Gouryella (ver Ferry Corsten y DJ Tiësto) y "Don't Call Me Baby" de Madison Avenue. Debido al éxito de dichos remixes, muchos músicos y productores han pedido que Armin remezcle sus canciones, pero el artista ha rechazado muchas de estas ofertas ya que ha decidido enfocarse en su propia música.

Presentaciones en vivo[editar]

Mientras Armin trabajaba en Nexus llegó a trabajar por largas horas y hasta siete horas por jornada. Van Buuren aprovechaba sus vacaciones escolares para trabajar más , ya que nunca dejó de disfrutar su trabajo.

En el 2001 la revista DJ Magazine incluyó a Armin en su lista de Top-100 DJs mundiales; Armin entró en la posición número 27. En el 2002 van Buuren alcanzó la quinta posición en el ranking mundial y en el 2003, 2004 y 2005 se llevó el tercer lugar. En 2006, Armin van Buuren toma la posición # 2 del mundo , acercándose a Paul van Dyk quien llevaba 2 años consecutivos como # 1 del mundo. En el año 2007 logra conseguir el puesto #1, quedando así como el mejor DJ del mundo, posición que repetiría en los años 2008, 2009, 2010 y 2012, siendo así el único en conseguir esta posición por 4 años consecutivos y 5 veces en total.

En junio del 2001 se estrenó el programa de radio llamado A State Of Trance (conocido como ASOT) en la emisora holandesa ID&T, que contó con Armin van Buuren como anfitrión.

A State of Trance[editar]

Artículo principal: A State of Trance

A State of Trance es un programa radial de dos horas que se transmite los jueves de cada semana con las principales novedades en música Trance y Progressive. Una de las razones por las cuales el programa contó con tanto éxito, aparte de por su calidad y su rápida difusión en internet via P2P y sitios dedicados a la música Trance, fue el hecho que se publicara el tracklist' de cada programa en el sitio web oficial de Armin van Buuren. Sin embargo en 2004 Armin anunció que, debido al cambio de licencia de emisión de ID&T que dejaría la música electrónica para pasar al Pop, se llevaría su programa a otra emisora. Tras un breve paso por ETN.fm, Armin se estableció en la emisora holandesa Fresh FM emitiendo allí su programa en su idioma nativo, mientras que contrató los servicios de TheRadioDepartment para licenciar el programa, en su edición internacional, a nivel mundial, programa que alcanza ya las 25 emisoras en diferentes países. Actualmente además de esas 25 emisoras, A State Of Trance puede ser escuchado en todo el mundo a través del canal de Trance de Digitally Imported Radio (radio por internet). El 25 de mayo de 2006, A State Of trance celebró su episodio número 250 con una gran fiesta en la discoteca holandesa ASTA Dance Theatre en The Hague. Desde allí se emitió el programa en riguroso directo a todo el mundo.

The Best of Armin van Buuren (5 HOUR MEGAMIX)

Armin van Buuren is the most iconic trance DJ of the past 20 years. He has won multiple awards and "No. 1 DJ" honors, and though some may question his stylistic shift from trance to EDM/pop over the last 5-10 years, you can't question his dedication to his music - over the past 16 years, his weekly ASOT broadcast has clocked in over 800 shows and counting!
